The next morning is damp again.I hear it rains a lot in the Charlottes.I have oatmeal, coffee and tea.I open a can of peaches to smarten up the instant oatmeal.Life is good.The stove is acting up so I take the pump apart and apply some oil to the piston rubber.That makes it better.
I ride only a short ways and find a much better campsite that has a lookout tower with a nicely made staircase.I make a mental note of it for later....There is also a pole building for campers to get out of inclement weather and do some cooking.
The weather begins to clear...
